'''Welcome to the African American Digital Bookshelf!'''
<br><br>This is a curated list of virtually accessible books that provide information on specific African American ancestors, historical context, and guidance to other resources.
<br><br>The digital books are organized geographically, with books pertaining to the entire U.S. or multiple states listed under "U.S." followed by books for particular states. The digital access to these books may come from FamilySearch or elsewhere (see the "Access" column in the table). To access the FamilySearch books, users must have an account [https://www.familysearch.org/register/custom/1 here]. The books from the other websites do not require an account to read them, except for a few located at Internet Archive. You can create your free Internet Archive account [https://archive.org/account/signup here].
<br><br>This table will continue to grow, so please come back often. The FamilySearch Library also houses hundreds of books on the shelves that contain valuable information for African American genealogy and research.


'''Other Sites' Digital Books''' includes sources such as Internet Archive, Hathi Trust Digital Library, and Google Books. The books listed in this category do not require an account in order to read them, with the exception of a few books located at Internet Archive. However, an Internet Archive account is also free and you can create one [https://archive.org/account/signup here].

Introduction

Welcome to the African American Digital Bookshelf!

This is a curated list of virtually accessible books that provide information on specific African American ancestors, historical context, and guidance to other resources.

The digital books are organized geographically, with books pertaining to the entire U.S. or multiple states listed under "U.S." followed by books for particular states. The digital access to these books may come from FamilySearch or elsewhere (see the "Access" column in the table). To access the FamilySearch books, users must have an account here. The books from the other websites do not require an account to read them, except for a few located at Internet Archive. You can create your free Internet Archive account here.

This table will continue to grow, so please come back often. The FamilySearch Library also houses hundreds of books on the shelves that contain valuable information for African American genealogy and research.
